Piercing & Jewellery

For lobes, helix, tragus and nostril during walk-in hours; everything else is by appointment.
A fresh piercing gets a longer post for the swelling; a few weeks later we fit a shorter one so it sits flat and heals straight.
ID & Age
Tattoos are for 18 and over only, with photo ID, even with a parent present. Piercing starts at 12 for lobes, with a parent or legal guardian present with their own photo ID and proof that they are your parent; from 16 most ear and face placements with a parent present; from 18 everything on the menu with your own ID.
An original, in date: passport, photo driving licence, national identity card, pass proof of age card.
